As one of our founding chapters, the Washington, D.C chapter has had a long history of helping Betterment support individuals and organizations. In fact, D.C. played host to Betterment’s first event, a golf tournament in 2000.
Since then, D.C.’s annual Betterment Golf Tournament has become a tradition for our members, who come from across the country to join in the weekend festivities and to raise money for a worthy cause.
The D.C. chapter also plays host to various other small events and happy hours throughout the year, as Betterment works to unite professionals of all ages and levels in our philanthropic mission. Some of our more recent get-togethers have taken place in popular bars located throughout the city, including: The Big Hunt, Old Ebbitt’s Grill, Tom Toms, and most recently, The Cajun Experience.
For the past 11 years, Betterment’s D.C chapter has helped many individuals and organizations, both locally and on a national scale. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events in the DC Metro Area!
